heavy across the midlands, wales and southern counties for a time, clear skies and a chilly night to the north—east of england with temperatures falling away to four or five, but still quite mild in the south—east. here is the weather front tomorrow morning. it does pull away, might linger longer in the channel islands, a ridge of high pressure builds in behind, then any weather fronts waiting in the winds. off goes the rain from the south—east, they will still hang on to cloud and the odd shower in the channel islands, but a lot of sunshine again, but blustery showers continuing across the north and west. on and off through much of the day. temperatures 14 in scotland to a high of 26 in london. as we head into the weekend, it will be fairly quiet. you might get patchy mist and fog, that will clear quite quickly. there will be areas of cloud at times, bright spells or indeed sunny spells, and you could catch the odd shower in the breeze coming in across northern and western parts of scotland. temperatures 14 to about 25 degrees,

that 25 will feel very pleasant as with a 23 in hull. it's a sunday, a similar story, a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine, a wee bit of cloud bubbling up through the course of the day, to produce the odd shower. it will be breezy across the northern half of the country, temperatures not too dissimilar to what we are looking at on saturday. we have 14 in the north to a high of 25 in the south.
